Welcome back to my channel for those of you who are new and welcome. If you know what this is, you can get your own sutra kit from Sim Vivo by going to www.sim-vivo.com. They have other trainers as well. This is not a sponsored video. Sim Vivo is not paying me for this but they were generous enough to send me this trainer kit to give them my honest opinion and review of the product and that is what I'm gonna do because that's what I always do. I keep it real with you guys. So I've already made this stitch here. Well, it's not a stitch, I'm sorry you guys. I've already made this cut here with my 10 blade. And that's this right here, this particular scalpel. I cut that but I will make another cut for you guys. I'm gonna try out the 11 blade for you. So I'm gonna do that right now. This is what I'm gonna use for my simple interrupted stitch. I've only done this one time before and that is the stitch is what I'm talking about. So I have to go a little bit harder I guess. Oh, there we go. And you guys, this is very, very sharp. So please be careful. If you do get your own, be very careful with this. I'm gonna go a little bit deeper, there we go. Okay, so I've made my cut. So that is my stitch. I used the 15 blade for that one. All right, so there are these, I can't remember what they call them. I think it said they were the Hagar needle pickups. So that's what we have here. I have my nylon 30 millimeter nylon suture needle right here. So I'm gonna open that for you all. See how it comes. So four steps in hand, your best friend, right? Pull them out. There we go. So this is how it comes. You have your 30 millimeter nylon needle right here. So I will go ahead and clip it and pull it out. This needle holder right here, I don't have a skin pickup. It has little claws on it. It's not personally my favorite because I guess I'm still a novice and I'm still learning. So I have to figure out the best way to hold the actual nylon thread with it. Maybe I go in through the middle. I don't know, but it makes it difficult for me. However, I'm going to try it. I'm gonna work with it. Like I said, I'm new at this. We learned you go in at 90 degree angle. You start off in the middle. So that is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna start off right here at this little kind of dot right there. I'm gonna pull this back, give myself a little bit of room to work. All right, so this dot, you go in 90 degrees. Pull it up. All right, so I'm in there. I'm getting into the subcutaneous fat tissue. Which is really like not that, but hey. All right, so I see my needle and it's going in the wrong. Oh, there it is. So clearly this isn't supposed to happen. I'm not supposed to stick that right there. Like I said, you guys, novice learning, but I'm pulling it through. I'm gonna use my fingers to kind of finish this off because it's just easier for me, but you do the two, double, pull it through. Make sure that it's flat is what I was taught. You have that kind of flat stitch. You throw it once again, pull it through one last time and you pull it through. And then you'll take it, obviously, and you'll cut it because that's the interrupted part of the simple interrupted. So I'll get my handy dandy scissors. All right, and so that is my stitch. That's my first one. Let's do this again because I had a little trouble right here. Like this right here, that little hole shouldn't be there. So let's do this again. So when you do it in the middle, you then have to stitch it halfway through. And you guys, so this is really, I really like this trainer. First off, the trainer that I'm using in school, it's really like gelatinous and oily. And so it makes it a little bit difficult for us to actually do the stitches, but it's really good to learn because your skin is gonna have a little bit of give obviously with it, but sometimes it makes it a little bit hard. So again, we hold it. This is what we've learned. You don't really hold it like this to go in. You hold it like this, go in at 90 degrees and going in the middle because you have to put that hole in there. And then I can release it. And there it is coming through. Needle holder, pull it out. All right, that was a little better. Okay, and so then I'll drop my needle down where I know where it is, roll it twice. I think I can actually put a little bit more. There we go. Give a little bit more give with that, yeah. Roll it once, pull it through. And one more time, get that tip, pull it through, pull it tight to the other side and then just clip it off. There we go. I think I'm getting the hang of it. And so again, you'll go in. Go in with the needle. Again, split it down the middle. There's about, there we go. That's halfway. So this is a really good trainer to train on. The skin itself is tough, but it still has a lot of give, like the actual tissue that is supposed to be the skin. Okay, so I think I pulled it a little bit too much there. Training with the nylon, because this is usually what you're going to be using in surgery is actually good. So you get kind of like the feel of this particular thread. And then you just are learning how to do these throws. Okay, so that one was a little... So I really like this, this is good. I'm going to be spending a lot of time training on this because obviously the more that you train, the better that you're going to become with doing these different suturing techniques. Again, so you would split it again, so I would go here. You can, if I still think that it needs more space, grab my needle with the needle holder. This is my needle pickup. Pull it through and it twice. And YouTube videos are really good for this as well in terms of learning how to pull these sutures. But Simvio has a really good product here, making it easy for me. I'm going to be a pro after this. After I'm done with this, it kind of went into the skin there, but it's there. But these are my simple interrupted. I'm not really sure what these other stitches would be, like some of the ones that I'll learn, I guess maybe like a mattress or a stitch. But these are some of the other stitches that they have that you can continue to train on. Like I said, I really only know the simple interrupted stitch right now, so that's the one that I'm working with. But I think I'm getting the hang of this and I think that this particular trainer is making it very easy to do that. Obviously, as I continue to practice and I continue to have more lessons like in school, as I said, I only did this one time before. I'll get better at this and I'll learn how to better do these different stitches and not waste any thread. But I think I'm doing a fairly decent job. If you guys want to learn how to do this, definitely get their trainer. They do have a book that it comes with this particular trainer comes with and it kind of gives you instructions on how to do some of these stitches. And like I said, you can go onto YouTube and figure that out as well. But the Sim Vivo training study guide helps you learn how to do some of these stitches. But I think my stitches look good. Like I feel like I did a really good job. Like look at this. This looks pretty good. You know, there, I don't know, maybe I pulled this one a little too tight. No, I think it's good. It's like well put together. So yeah, look at that. I had the little mishap here. But we're good. We're good. That's why this is training, right? So yeah, head on over to Sim Vivo. That's www.sim-vivo.com. If you want to get this particular trainer and like I said, there are other trainers as well, dissection trainers for INDs and actually like excising different things. You have various different nylon-sized threads. So learning how to suture with those are very important as well. I really like the feel of this. The fact that it's not oily and gelatinous, so it's not messy is great because then I can just continue to, I can literally, you guys, so I have my stitches in and then I can just go in right now, kind of ruin all my good hard work but easily snip them and start all over again and continue to train, right? And that's, it's that simple. Pull those out. And honestly, that's how they're gonna take your sutures out anyways. When they're, after you've had some stitches put in, they're gonna take your sutures like that. So I'm excited about this. I'm super excited. Thank you so much, Sim Vivo, for being so generous and allowing me to review this product.
